So impressed with this little Audi, VAG stuff has always been close to my heart as they're such solid machines and this one definitely didnt disappoint. Its currently top of the Tower Of Power but maybe not for long if the turbocharged Ford im working on now makes it through to the other side - and im not talking about the Capri. That'll be one of next years ring cars!
Would be amazing to see this get tuned! Fab video!
Ive a mk2 or 8j in worse condition lol. Got me wanting to go for some laps. And kinda wishing i got that 8n instead.
Get yourself a wee MG TF next for a bit of fun in a car
@@alasdairweir1011 mg f is a great shout.
Good driving, those tyres aint bad
That whole journey and track stuff would scare the shit out of me well I’m 73 now so the weekly trip to Asda is a nightmare 😄
😂😂 brilliant. There's definitely a few bum clentchy moments along the way but it's all part of the fun!
Nearly 50k,you’ve earned each and every one of us,simply the best thing on RUclips 👍
Very close I'm very greatful 🙏🏼
Very close?!?! I've just watched this episode and I noticed that your subscribers are 50.2K. you said at the end that there's always something different on this channel. That's what the 50.2K subscribers would agree with. You are the best thing on RUclips.
Nearly 60k, 1 month later. 👍
Tasty blinkin' drivin'. Seriously impressive. Great video - reminded me a little of a certain American RUclipsr who fixes up cars to drive home (500 miles etc.) I knew this channel would go ballistic. Very proud of Tasty Classics for taking a 700 quid car to the Ring and showing up a few toffs.
is that the dereck miester?
another one to consider is 'Smells Like Gasoline' - although it takes using the subs unless you parlez vous francais. If you like this channel you'll probably like that one too,
@@808v1Thanks 808v1, I'll give it a go. Merci Monsieur.
"No lights on the dashboard... Come on..!!!' Should be on one of your t-shirts..!! 😊😊
I'm glad this car has done well for views..... more modern classics like this please. The MR2, Mondeo, Omega etc were all much more interesting than the older stuff for me
There's a great one coming up in a few weeks ❤️🙏🏼
Very impressive, Ben. The resurrection of the car, how it performed, the stamina you displayed, the filming and the editing. Top youtube content, All the best, Mart in Solihull.
A lot of the channels I watch do Nurburgring content, so I confess rolling my eyes a bit when I knew this was coming up. BUT, this was the best one I have seen. Excellent camera work and editing gave a really different and exciting experience. Thanks so much Ben, thoroughly enjoyed!
I took my own mk1 225 to the Ring 3 years ago. I was madly impressed, I feel this video so, so very much! I can't believe how well your 250 pound beater held up!
One of the if the best videos I've seen involving the new burger ring. What a fantastic little car. Top mark's 💪💪👍👍👍👍
Nobody likes old burgers.
This was amazing, what a great little TT. Very well driven.
This is the most entertaining video on the Nurburgring I have seen, well done Ben! Congratulations on 50k subs, keep up the great work 👍
Wow the Audi TT performed great. Some very impressive driving as well from yourself. Just goes to show you , you don’t need a F1 super car to pass expensive sports cars . And have the time of your life. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
You and the TT did great. I don't normally like "driving around in circles" videos on RUclips, but you do them really well.
9.05 with traffic and flip-flop tyres... Respect!
Remarkable car and very confident driving skills Ben , congradulations . That car is a keeper .cheers mate from Rick in Sydney Australia 🇦🇺 👍 👌
So nice seeing someone so happy doing what they love.
Also love the Seiko alpinist. Very nice choice.
Excellent spot! 👏🏼👏🏼
I spotted that too. WIS forever!
I took a 100 degree corner in my 05 TT 3.2 Quattro once at 120 mph. ( it was a bit of a surprise, hidden by a rise ) I took my foot off the brake and turned the wheel and did exactly what the Audi School of Driving taught me- TRUST that Quattro to hold the curve.
It held like it was on rails. It’s not the fastest car- but it’s beautiful in ways most faster cars just aren’t, and it handles better than any RWD car I’ve driven ( but then, I’m not one who likes steering my car thru a turn with the throttle- that’s how cars get wrapped sideways around trees and telephone poles)
And, I’ve carried lumber home in my TT. Can’t say that for any 911.
Congratulations on the 50k subscriber's. Keep being these fantastic videos. Such variety of type of motors each week and all in the average mans pocket . Great work
Great stuff Ben, the little TT did you proud! Good job talking to the camera and belting around the track at the same time!
Happy Tasty Friday! Been looking forward to this since Ben mentioned it!
Same !
Goes to show, you don't need to spend a fortune to have fun and bring a smile. Love the Channel and love your approach to bringing cars back to life. Looking forward to the Capri work and the final result. Keep up the great work. A+++
Amazing video Ben. Thanks for taking us along. Living in Canada it’s surreal to me to be able to drive to Germany. Cheers!
Wow man, you did each other proud with that. Enough said...brilliant !👍👍
I’ve really enjoyed the TT content. We were at the ring from Sat pm and saw a lot of the cars that you did. Our first time there but we loved it and can’t wait to go again. Think you would have passed me on track 10 times over!!
What an ace video, thanks for bringing us along with you.
I was impressed with how well you were able to chuck it around the Nurburgring, seriously good driving, well done!
Very kind thank you!
dude i just watched hoopties garage in the u.s your tt is so much better fella,well done
Hey brother, as someone in the US who recently found your channel, your videos have been the most entertaining ones I’ve seen lately. It takes a lot to keep my attention consistently for over an hour and a half per video, and I appreciate you and your video making style.
Keep up the good work and I can’t wait for the next one!
Very kind words!
Also I drive my MX5 more than any of my cars, it is my dedicated daily 😍
@@tastyclassics I’d love to be able to drive mine more, but it’s not registered and still needs a lot of R&D after my J-Swap to be reliable
The RUclips algorithm has got me sussed, turn tv go on RUclips first suggestion Tasty Classics uploaded 1 minute ago 💯👌
@@Badboykillrz Ben has the Force on his side (the light side of course)
The first instalment of the TT series was a random RUclips suggestion which I’m so glad for! I’ve started to watch a load of your other stuff and yours is now one of my favourite channels to watch for sure. A 225 TT is on my list of cars to have after I’ve got my rot box of an E36 sorted 😂
I need an E36 in the stable, I've had quite a few and they should be in the top 10 cars ever made
@@tastyclassics I would love to see an E36 on the channel!
Wow Ben, spectacular driving! You certainly know what your doing! Loved the video and well done on the lap time, very impressive. I can understand why the track is addictive. Thanks very much for all your hard work in getting these videos filmed, edited and uploaded. 😊
Amazing @tastyclassics, sorting out a cheap and unloved car and then fully enjoying it on the track without worry or restrictions. Brilliant to see. I’ve had one of these cars for years and love it, wonderful to see your courage really enjoying it! .. and … no dash lights came back on!
Great show Ben... Silverstone really need to get their act together.. what a great place..
Great work. It was a lot of fun watching the restoration process and a Nurburgring trip. I have a mk1 TT and it's collecting dust because I barely use it. I'm just doing some maintenance and small restoration works and thinking about selling it every year. But as time goes by it really grows on me and I see a future classic in it. Your work makes me wanna keep it :) And taking this old car on a trip to Germany and pushing it on a track - man, you're a legend :)
I’ve had a 2005 3.2L SLine Quattro for 18 years now. It ended up sitting unused for about 6 months because I bought a little maverick truck and was doing a lot of driving for materials and such. When I checked it out, the battery was dead and the car had been infested with rats. Had to rewire the ignition harness and replace a couple coils, put in new battery, and take the entire nose and underside panels off to clear out all the wood and other debris the rats has stuffed in there. It broke my heart to see it in that condition and I thought about selling it- but I figured I at least had to get it running again. Long as I had the front off I replaced the headlights with a couple in better condition, replaced the AC compressor which was not as cold as it should be, and finding a couple of vacuum leaks that got fixed.
As I drove it on shake down, I remembered just how much I love that car. The handling, the Growl of the 3.2L, the looks.
I got out and saw the paint on the roof was burned a little as was the top of the spoiler. Wheels a bit scuffed. I thought, “ in for a penny…” So I just went ahead and had some of the body panels repainted, the wheels dressed, new tires.
It looks and drives like new, now, and there is just no way I can bring myself to give it up.
I bought it 2 years old off a lease with only 14k miles, for HALF its 2005 sticker price. For the first 17 years I owned it, it never cost me more than scheduled maintenance. If I include the new fuel pump and headliner I installed a year ago, I’ve put about $4,500 into refurbishing it. Most of that was the AC compressor and the paint.
I’ve spent more on repairing an integra I used to own.
A joy to drive and the highest build quality car Audi ever made. They really tried their best to make it a design and engineering tour de force.
Worth every penny.
Your best yet. You can certainly drive Ben, and wrung the last drop out of that little 180bhp TT. Fantastic stuff, please keep it up!
Congrats on 50k Ben. Great humour, classic cars,problem solving, track racing, Tools, road views around England, Wales and European countryside, a record shop ! What more do we want. Niiice 😂👍😁
That was brilliant! You and that little TT were absolutely on it - real giant killers! The other drivers probably told themselves that your car is tuned etc. Ha! And on mismatched tyres and everything!
Brilliant , goes to show you dont need a mega expensive car to have a huge amount of fun
Top content. It´s such a joy seeing you let the little Audi stretch its legs. Even if you don´t shell out the moolah for laps the place is still worth the visit. The atmosphere alone is fantastic.
Well done for catching the evo. Cracking
Great driving, really enjoyed the video. Love the channel.
Funny story I saw the first video on this series while I was the Nurburgring and subscribed while I was there, the same weekend you were there. My bikes in the background of your walk around at around 47:50. Wish I’d see your videos a day earlier I’d of come and said hello!😂
Ah man next time I'd love to chase a bike around you must have balls of steel! It's on my bucket list though
Great drive Ben, loving your channel, should of sold my MR2 Mark 1 to you.
Ben. That was the best RUclips I’ve seen in a long time and yes I’ve been to specsavers. The variety of content in this is outstanding. Well done mate. Loved it.
47.33, I’ve got one of those, 996s. Ace old vehicle.
Love the TT. My wife had a 52 (2002) 225 in the same colour, same interior. Some found them boring, but we loved it. It felt heavy around town, but it was utterly planted at speed.
They were banging laps. I was driving with you and leaning into each of the bends. Great stuff Ben, thanks for sharing
You are the man when it comes to funny British mechanics great humor. The tt refurb was great I have worked for vw as a parts delivery driver many years back about when this tt was new. There parts and vehicles are amazing so to see an older vehicle be refurbed and look this good is understandable when you have worked for them.
Great chanel 😂 keep it up
Yes!!! 😊 Beautiful! A bit of tasty classics on a Friday evening. Simply wonderful! love the content.
I’ve not got a TT and may never have one but really enjoying these vids and other ones. It’s nice to have a shiny new car but there’s a lot of satisfaction to be had taking an older car and improving it, especially something a bit different which may be special enough to be around for years to come.
Bloody brilliant, absolutely love these videos and has fast become my favourite channel on RUclips! Great work Ben!
9 min laps in a £750 21yr old bog standard 180bhp TT is astonishing. Serious track cars get 8, only supercars do 7, the all time fastest lap is 6:30. Budget motorsports. What would a Audi TT 225 striped for weight, some budget exhaust/head work and a remap manage? Remarkable little car.
They do ok
Great video, Ben.Could I ask a small request? I have chemo the next 3 Fridays. Your videos help me through,so see you there.Thanks.
Well done Ben impressive driving and best lap time. There will always be faster people on the ring however it is about the enjoyment factor you achieve and memories made.
The country side reminds of my area, East Tennessee, US. We don't have official road courses nearby, only curvy mountain highways and the Tail of the Dragon road in between us and North Carolina. Looks like amazing fun.
totally enjoyed every minute of the video. The TT performance is still cracking for its age
FFS, why do I think I’ll dip in for ten minutes and here I am again one hour later? Addictive stuff as always.
I've seen it said that when the ring is wet, the usual dry lines get extra slippery because they're covered in rubber from everyone's tyres before it started raining.
As if I was there with you... on the track leaning on my chair into the curves. Thanks Ben, love your channel.
Another great video Ben but all your videos are amazing out of all the channels I am subscribed to I watch yours the most. Every Friday is the best day of the week for me. I always look forward to Fridays now it’s the highlight of my entire week.
Thank you Ben.
some epic driving there Ben. To go past a track prepped S3 which is essentially the same car but with the 225bhp engine is incredible. Top skillz!
This is a great one m8. Greetings from the state of Delaware.
Great Video Ben, I owned a th roadster , well put together, I fancied some extra horse power, it went from 225 to about 275 Quattro drive loved it thanks Wayne Anglesey
😂you had some fun there Ben! Really enjoyed that one and not a rusty bolt or a spark plug in sight! Something different for a change. Weren’t you worried about having an off? The implications are huge never mind the cost, how would you get home? As ever, many thanks for the entertainment Ben 👏🏻👏🏻
I try not to think about it 😂 but you are right, I have a cleared credit card with £5k limit on it and that is my insurance, if I can't buy my way out of a problem with that then there's no helping me 😅
Fantastic video. On of the best RUclips vids I’ve watched on the Nurburgring. Great driving and the TT was very impressive. Love VAG stuff of this era. That old 1.8T is a fantastic engine.
Omg 😱 I knew you took my 405 round a track but not the actual ring! Superb!!!! J458 UTH respect
Brilliant video, I've always loved these cars and regret never owning one. I'm now planning a trip to the ring after watching this and the Omega vid' Keep it up.
What a man, what a driver. He came, he saw, he cornered! 😮
Excellent video Ben! That TT just shows you don’t need loads of money to have fun. Yes to a Volvo on your channel 😉
Cheers Ben. I realised that I was holding my breath and having involuntary arm and neck movements as you did your laps AND I didnt have a beer!! now i can neck a neck oil and breath. Chin chin and thankyou
Great job, thoroughly enjoyed watching this, fantastic 👍👍👍
1:35:50 It was Ben who did it on the grassy knoll with a loaded Audi TT 180 Quattro firmly in his sights! Great vid Ben.
Well done Ben, used to sell these wee TTs back in the day, hopelessly underrated,fantastic build quality, the 180 was my favourite tbh, these little gems are tommorows classics & you can buy them for peanuts, got one in my runway, hasnt moved for 3 years if anyone is interested, keep up the good work ❤
Really great cars 😊 myself and our daughter both have one each. The tt mark one is an absolute classic shape of a stunning 😊 sports car 😊
Now that was quite possibly the best video ever! I couldn’t watch on Friday as I was out with the kids but have thoroughly enjoyed myself tonight! I’d love you to do The Ring myself but a 2013 1600 Zafira B with a 114k on the clock is not quite the car to do it😂! Brilliant as ever Ben!!
Well impressed with the driving Ben, I did the Ring on my BMW GS 1200 motorbike, I shit myself 😂, came off shacking with adrenaline, fear, excitement, you name it. Awesome, love it, oh and well done on the weight loss 👍
I'd love to do a bike mate I just know nothing about them, I will get my licence soon though and I'll make it happen. Thanks for the kind words aswell I'm doing my best! Helps for fitting in these things aswell 🤣
Excellent video . Great little cars aren't they i have a 225 but love the little 180 holding its own
I did one lap of the Green Hell in a MK2 MX5 in 2016and after many years on the Playstation, I did an unbelievable 16:10 ..... I found that I was in such awe of the place I just wanted to take it all in!! (Plus you don't know just how many times I have stacked it on the PS!)
Brilliant video again mate proving that you don't need to spend thousands on a car to have a good time there. I do think that you should keep the TT and do some bits an pieces to see if you can crack it under the 9 mark. Excellent Ben, thanks. Everyone should do the Ring at least once!!
Great video. Looks like you had a great time and what a car! Wish I had workshop to work on a car. Keep going and I will keep watching.
Of course we're watch till the end Friday night viewing at it's best
I've watched this twice now!!! Superb! When you "hooked it up" and went after the Works Cooper S you could see you were right on the ragged edge...exactly how it should be...I actually had tears in my eyes it was so good!
😍😍 very kind words mate!
Really enjoying the video the cockpit camera angles going round the laps were excellent a really enjoyable video 🙌👍
Epic video Ben, fantastic stuff. Never would have thought that little TT, that cost so little money, would do so well, amazing !. Looks like you and that little motor had a great time together, she’s a keeper.
What an absolute weapon that is! And the car......
That's definitely a sub 9 car, I'd love to see Micha take it round 🤔 could you contact him and sort it out? But, genuinely impressed keeping up with the Cayman and the JCW like you did. Nice man 💪🏻
Would love to do something with Mischa, maybe when the Capri goes over there...
Enjoyed going on this trip with you 👌💙
Brilliant video Ben! Was worth the wait brother 👊🏼
Good choice haha Dee you flipping them wee range rovers like a boss
absolutely brilliant, Ben. I love watching your videos thanks for all the hard work you put into these videos they are great.
Great video as always Ben. Superb performance from the TT.
Keep up the amazing content.
I love the MK1 TT....such a iconic old but kind of newish car..love the look of cheap 911...
Great video of a fantastic trip Ben and God you can pedal that Audi. Very impressive stuff!
Great video you drove that car like a boss, what a bargain brilliant little Audi.
Great job Ben 👏 love the clog awesome 🎉thanks so much as well my hat and air freshener arrived good quality hopefully it goes towards a new project 😀 well done 👏
That was far more exciting than Formula 1. Keeping up with the EVO was insane
He was keeping up with the evo driver. ❤
Joking aside, the TT did extremely well this video! Nice one Ben! 😊👍❤️
Wow, loved this whole video mate..superb car..bloody well driven, kept tensing my right leg..what's that about..?😮😂😂...you're a star and I'm thankful I found your channel..
Thinking about your next Nurburing basher, what about the 1999 -2005 JAG s-type, rwd sideways executive bardge
A result Ben, Thanks much for sharing awesome adventure
Awesome video I really need a tt in my life now.
Wicked driving Ben, S3 Caged overtake had me spitting my beer out. Awesome. Every video gets better.👋
Simply friggin amazing was gripped with this vid and couldn’t believe the footage better than watching racing on sports channel.fighting that steering,brake squeal and watching the build up from a sorry looking Audi to a race winner…well done❤wouldn’t of had that ruck sack swinging from left to right in passenger footwell..what was in it a emergency Harrison supply😢
